Warning:

This information may not apply to the current year. Check the content carefully to ensure it is applicable to your circumstances.

End of attention

We are authorised by the Taxation Administration Act 1953 to request your tax file number (TFN). We will use your TFN to identify you in our records. It is not an offence not to provide your TFN but if you don't there may be delays or administrative errors in processing your form.

We are also authorised under the Superannuation (Unclaimed Money and Lost Members) Act 1999 to collect the information on this form. We will use this information to help us to administer the taxation and superannuation laws. If this information is not collected, we will not be able to search our records or pay any unclaimed superannuation money amounts you may be entitled to claim. If we did not collect this information your superannuation provider would fail to meet their reporting obligations.

Where authorised by law, we may give this information to other government departments and agencies, including:

Department of Education

Department of Employment

Department of Social Services

Department of Human Services

Department of Immigration and Border Protection

State and Federal Police

Australian Securities & Investment Commission

Australian Prudential Regulation Authority

Australian Bureau of Statistics

Reserve Bank of Australia.

We also provide taxpayer information to treaty partners overseas under international tax agreements.

Our privacy policy contains important information about your privacy, including information about how you can access and seek correction of information we hold about you, how to make a complaint if you think we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles and how we will deal with any privacy complaints.

Our commitment to you

We are committed to providing you with accurate, consistent and clear information to help you understand your rights and entitlements and meet your obligations.

If you follow our information and it turns out to be incorrect, or it is misleading and you make a mistake as a result, we will take that into account when determining what action, if any, we should take.

Some of the information on this website applies to a specific financial year. This is clearly marked. Make sure you have the information for the right year before making decisions based on that information.

If you feel that our information does not fully cover your circumstances, or you are unsure how it applies to you, contact us or seek professional advice.
